...Baltimore neighborhood Pecker (Edward Furlong), who takes pictures of its benignly weird denizens, is regarded as a sweetly beamy pest. In the New York art world, however, he comes to be regarded as a divine primitive. You can probably imagine the clash when Waters brings Pecker's blue-collar subjects together with his chic discoverers. Much more fun--as always in Waters' genially transgressive movies--are the rich portrayals of his fellow Baltimoreans, among them Christina Ricci's Laundromat Nazi, Mary Kay Place's fashion-forward thrift-shop owner and Jean Schertler's goofy grandma using a statue...
Many analysts believe Iranian leaders are simply trying to intimidate the Taliban rather than overthrow it. Clearly hoping to avoid a direct clash, both will make their case in the U.N. General Assembly this week. Neither side, though, seems to be in a listening mood...
Part hardboiled thriller, part sensitive melodrama, with tears for the ladies and gunplay for the guys, the novel borrows a potent narrative trick from Kenneth Fearing's noir classic, The Big Clock: Schwartz tells the story from complementary viewpoints that must sooner or later collide and clash. In their grief and remorse, the three lead characters start out locked in separate universes.

Grace drifts in an existential darkness amid her bright perennials, her spirit crisping and withering leaf...

This time, supporters of Berezovsky say he would like a high post in the government for himself...
...biggest bug in the blue-pill program is its effect on the old ticker. Viagra was already known to clash badly with heart disease drugs such as nitroglycerin; now the researchers have anecdotal evidence to suggest that any cardiovascular complaint might put you in the danger zone. Pfizer's response? You're 2.5 times more likely to have heart trouble in the hours after sex anyway -- with or without the little blue pill. And since that hasn't stopped men so far, these latest warnings are hardly likely to deflate Viagra's sales figures: 3.6 million and rising...
